MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Pencils, pens and notebooks are what school-age children were grabbing at a back to school event.
Buying school supplies can get expensive, so one children’s agency was looking to help out.
Case-Management hosted its Annual Back To School Drive Friday, at its facility on Alice Avenue in South Memphis.
The group collected donations all year to make sure low-income students went back to class ready to learn. Volunteers said the kids are happy to get anything they can.
“They’re extremely grateful. It really helps them out. Kids have to go back to school, and many of them are grateful for what they can get” said Stephanie McKinney. Organizers say about 150 students came out to pick up supplies.
